Procharger F-1 Help

I just upgraded to an F-1 Head unit and there is not much room to filter the inlet of the blower unit. Any suggestions on a type of filter system or do I have to find a metal fabricator to move the radiator forward some??? 1-2 inches is all I need...

Or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem on my f-body, I never ran a filter, but the radiator would have to be moved foward to fit one.....I know they sell 90 degree bends, but that still wouldn't fit....

I think its going to look like a hat over the blower inlet. It looks you need around 2" clearence to fit the HKS filter. Here are some pics for it http://www.importcarpartsplus.com/In...ksMegaFlow.htm

There was a possibility of putting a notch in it, its custom fabrication work, but thats the only way to get room to squeeze one in

I took my fan shroud completely off and even trimmed 1/4 inch off of the inlet hat ring and still no luck on the inlet hat over the F-1 it's just too damn big.

Being that I dont use all of the power all of the time, I did not require a 900hp radiator, which no one would be able to fit in their car.

Not no but He*l no... The soft rubber could not stand up to the suction of the impeller blades... Instant cavitation of the elbow under acceleration...
